Back again in the blog where I find quotes and images that made me pause, and share them with you. @Wesphilbin waves the flag for us and runs @thoughtfulposts as the curation account that rewards thoughtful posts. Please consider delegating if you are the thoughtful type and want to encourage people to share their positivity.

Here are a couple that made me pause, ponder, and made the cut for #thoughtfuldailypost. Pairing them with music just seems right as words to tune have that extra special power.

Looking After

Simon Sinek is described as "an unshakeable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together." This is my kinda dood!

I am a big believer in our purpose primarily being able to survive so that we can interact positively with the universe. Numbers in fictional accounts may seem re4al but they really are just constructs we create for ourselves. It is connection with the beings that surround us and beyond that is the real purpose, if we choose to accept it.

What prompted me to pause over this one was the luxury vs honour (Canadian spelling!) I always looked it as more of a miracle that I was born in the first place, and that the universe I hold in such high regard hasn't managed to kill me yet. I suppose that is a luxury and I should appreciate that I even have the ability to look after myself.

That brings us to the honour. Thinking plenty about purpose lately, I always thought of it as a necessity when it comes to a healthy, mindful active lifestyle. I could go on too far about purpose but will share that I never considered it an honour. It certainly is when it comes to the purpose of looking after eachother.

Let us bask in our luxury of living and know the honour of looking after eachother.

I am not exactly sure which part of Messenger made me select it for this quote but the universe needs more Canadians like Daniel Lanois.

Like you own the place

The art work on this one is apparently from Wolf Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the closest I could come to discovering the author isTiny Buddha

I have always loved a similar quote that is something like If you are going through hell, keep going! because why stop and stick yourself in hell any longer? This one takes it a step further. Don't only keep going, drink in the punishment and the toughness it is building in you and come through it even stronger. Develop a swagger for the character and constitution you are developing and walk like you own the place! Bet it helps a little when ascending from a tough place.

This may be a little heavy for some but so is hell. A good soundtrack when you Walk like you own the place!

Considering our problems, happiness and how we are spending our lives can only lead to positive changes. If being thoughtful is up your alley, you have the option to delegate to @thoughfulposts to increase the rewards for positivity.
